Plan heating the house: installation, characteristics, reviews ⋆ Proraboff.rf

Infrared heater "Plan" is the newest heating system developed by Russian scientists. It is presented in the form of a film, and its thickness may differ. Depending on this, its parameters may be different. A resistive device is used as a heating element in the film. Install systems "Plan", as a rule, on the ceiling in the room and secured with a variety of building fixing elements.

In this situation, much depends on the thickness of the ordered film. However, there are also precautions in this regard. As experts assure, during the installation of the "Plan" elements it is forbidden to use any metal objects, as well as mirrors. With the correct installation of the system, only objects will be heated, not air. The elements of "Plan" are referred to as convective heating systems.

Features of the "Plan" systems

First of all, it should be noted the high. Given the low electricity consumption of the system, it pays for itself in about three years. Manufacturers give a good guarantee for this product, and it can last for about 50 years. Installation of the above system is inexpensive and should be taken into account. On average, specialists for the installation of sq. m. ask in the market for 1500 rubles. As you know, these systems do not require maintenance. Using the control unit, you can adjust the power of the device.

Thus, in the absence of people in the house, the system can be set to an economical mode. Since the Plan brand heaters represent those that do not heat the air, the walls do not dry out. You can use the system safely in winter without ventilation. In addition, it should be noted that the emitted infrared rays prevent the appearance of mold on the walls. Thus, the room will always remain dry with normal humidity levels. It costs an average of sq. m. of canvases about 1300 rubles.

The principle of operation of PLEN heating

The principle of operation of the film heater is based on infrared radiation. It, akin to the sun, heats the air itself, and the objects that fall under it. This allows oxygen to remain in the atmosphere in the right amount. Contrary to the claims of some skeptics, IR radiation does not harm the human body, which has already been scientifically proven. Of course, when using infrared heaters operating in the short-wave range, it is possible to get burns to the body or cornea of the eye (with prolonged exposure to IR rays), but this does not apply to PLEN, which emits long waves. They are absolutely not dangerous to humans. Moreover, in some cases, such radiation is prescribed for medical reasons.

It is better to power infrared heating from a separate cable

Main characteristics of systems

The main characteristics of the "Plan" systems should be attributed to performance, as well as energy consumption. Additionally, the buyer should take into account the level of efficiency. The limiting temperature of the heating element depends on the thickness of the web. On the surface of the heater, it will be slightly lower. This parameter can also be checked with the manufacturer. The power source of the "Plan" system is a network with a voltage of 180, 200 or 220 V. The radiation wavelength depends on the size of the heating element. When installing, the thickness is important, as well as the weight of the square. m. canvases.

Pros and cons of PLEN systems: reviews of real owners

Such heating has many positive qualities, as well as infrared heaters.This is both a high efficiency, and uniform heating, and you should not forget about the absence of dry air. However, it should be noted that, as in the case of installing any other type of heating, special attention should be paid to the quality of the house insulation. After all, if electric or gas heating using a coolant is turned off, then the temperature will drop very slowly due to the cooling of the liquid in the pipes. There is no such thing here. When turned off, heat will go away very quickly. This is the main disadvantage of PLEN.

Film infrared heaters can also be laid under the laminate

Consider a few reviews about film heaters from the owners of such a newfangled heating.

filipok49, Russia, Nevyansk: When I had a choice in heating my house, I did not hesitate for a second, I chose PLEN heating without boilers, batteries and pipes! (…) It is very convenient, but it is not visible, but it heats everything everywhere, both the floor and the walls. Most importantly, it does not take up space and all corners are free, you can put furniture and are not afraid that pipes can interfere. No, don’t say anything, but I made the right choice and I haven’t been jaundiced for three years already. I highly recommend that you take a closer look at this heater and insulate your home with benefit. PLEN heats rooms from 10 to 20 degrees in just 40-50 minutes. Manufacturer's warranty for 25 years. Average electricity consumption for the heating season is 15 W / h per square meter.

And one more review about infrared heating at home:

BabaFros9, Russia, Moscow: We have installed this heating system in every room in our country house. The main advantages, because of which I chose this system, while meeting with many other heating systems at work, I will now describe: 1) This system is one of the best in terms of saving energy, therefore, and saving your money (...) 5) Heats the room quickly enough, in about half a day, if from low temperatures, in the spring in an hour or two. There are no downsides to this system, the only thing is that the installation is quite expensive, but it will pay off due to the electricity bill. I recommend this system to everyone, my family and I are very happy, since we often visit the dacha in winter, and at other times of the year it helps a lot!

How do I install the canvas?

In order to qualitatively install "Plan" (heating) in the house, do-it-yourself installation should begin with measurements. Before starting work, it is important to tackle the work surface. In this case, the ceiling must be very carefully cleaned. If it has paint on it, you can use a solvent. If wallpaper was used during the repair, you need to remove everything with a spatula. Next, you need to treat the surface with a primer and smoothen everything completely, and also level it.

After that, the length of the canvas is calculated (based on the quadrature of the room). The minimum distance from the edge of the wall should be at least 2 cm. Then the fasteners should be prepared. For a canvas of this thickness, it is more advisable to use plastic pins. In some cases, experts advise using hooks. However, they are more expensive fasteners, this must be taken into account. To fix the canvas, a person will need an assistant.

The second sheet on the first one at the edge is superimposed on top by about 3 cm. Fastening along the canvas should be carried out every 20 cm. It is very important not to touch the heating elements. Otherwise, the supply wires could be damaged. As a result, the integrity of the reflective tape will be compromised. It will be impossible to restore the dielectric coating after that. After securing the system, you should deal with the control unit. In this case, a lot depends on its type. Basically, manufacturers offer conventional devices with three modes. The unit is installed near the outlet.

To avoid short circuits, before securing the box, you need to find out about the location of the wiring in the house. This can be done quite simply - using a tester. Next, next to the power supply, a special "Plan" modulator is attached. The system is connected to the wall outlet last. Full heating of the element in this case will leave about 40 minutes. If the heater does not work, you need to disconnect the unit from the network and check the integrity of the winding.

Recommendations for choosing PLEN

The quality of work and the effectiveness of such technology is influenced by a number of factors, non-observance of which can lead to a number of financial losses and moral dissatisfaction from its use. It is recommended to consider the following:

Climatic parameters of the area. If the house is located in an area that is highly exposed to winds, then the heat loss will be much greater, the system will turn on more often to maintain a comfortable temperature level, which, accordingly, will entail additional electricity costs;
High-quality thermal insulation at home. If you decide to install a PLEN heating system, then the most important condition that must be met is a well-insulated house. This applies to all structural elements: roofs, floors, walls, windows, ventilation systems, chimneys, etc. Otherwise, the loss of thermal energy will be very large even in the most windless and calm weather. Many do not think about these issues and as a result, they get a poorly heated space along with a huge item of electricity costs.
A well-known and well-established company for the installation of an electric foil heater. Today on the market you can buy various Chinese counterfeits, the manufacturers of which do not bear absolutely no responsibility for their products, and their quality leaves much to be desired. This is used by scammers and unscrupulous firms for installation work of this kind.Therefore, before concluding a contract, it is necessary to study all the information related to the company installing the Plan heating system, namely its reputation, media reviews and a license to carry out such work.

Film characteristics "Plan 1.4"

This film ("Plan" - heating) has the following technical characteristics: maximum voltage - 180 V, and the operating current is 3 A. An additional layer of isolon is used as a coating. The thermostat in this model is installed with the marking "TU3". In turn, a wide variety of modulators can be used. The wiring in this case is PV2. Cable channels are included with a length of 3 meters.

This is enough to connect the heater to the network. Also, this system is equipped with a special magnetic starter. The maximum load is maintained at a level of 30 A. The efficiency of such devices reaches 80%. The peak power of the modulator is 4 kW. System consumption is acceptable. An economical mode of use is provided on the control unit. In this case, approximately 6 kW per hour will be consumed per hour of operation. Worth sq. m. canvases with a thickness of 1.4 mm about 1500 rubles.

What do they say about the Plan 1.4 system?

And this "Plan" system receives positive feedback from the owners. Many customers praise the 1.4mm film for its compact size. When you install it, the room does not lose anything in size. The installation of the canvas is carried out quite quickly. If you hire skilled workers, then the installation of apt. m. of film costs on average about 1400 rubles. The system has no combustion products at all. Thus, the air always remains clean.

Heating directly by the "Plan" -system is carried out evenly. The control unit can be used absolutely in any weather conditions. Among the shortcomings, one should take into account the long time of temperature rise. Thus, it will not be possible to instantly warm up. The limiting temperature of the heating element is not very high, this should be taken into account. Despite the fact that the specified "Plan" system has quite good technical characteristics, it is better to use the film in winter time together with other heating devices.

Separation of types of PLEN according to the method of arrangement of heating elements

In addition to placing the film on the walls, which is used much less often, PLEN is placed on the ceiling and on the floor. Consider these mounting options.

The ceiling arrangement of the infrared film is considered the most optimal.

Ceiling placement of heaters PLEN

This location is considered to be the most successful. In this case, the heat will spread evenly. Reviews of infrared warm ceilings are the most enthusiastic. And in order not to be unfounded, we will give one of them:

Vkonoval, Yekaterinburg: I myself am engaged in infrared heating based on PLEN and not only them. We have been working since 2006, we have already heated about 30,000 sq.m. premises, both residential and non-residential. As the main heating we make “Heating ceiling” and not underfloor heating. And we do not advise people to be warmed only by the floor. It is very indicative when pets, a cat, a dog and a parrot, move to live in rooms with a warm ceiling. No wonder they say that: “All living things must be heated from above!”. It is more natural how the sun warms the earth.

Floor version of the film arrangement

Despite the fact that floor installation is simpler than ceiling installation, it has proven itself a little worse. There is no that uniformity of heating, which gives a ceiling placement. However, this kind has a right to exist.

But the floor, often, also requires heating.

Jnan, Russia, Voronezh: I purchased this product for heating a loggia. With the door open, the temperature stays around 20C, but in the apartment it drops by 2-3C.To compensate, I decided to heat it up a little. The loggia is insulated with 50mm foam. Having borrowed information from the Internet, I decided to make the ceiling warm, not the floor. The area of the loggia is approximately 6 sq. m. I bought 2.5 m of film with a width of 0.5 m. The film is covered only with fiberboard 3mm. As a result, the ceiling heats up, and the heating of the furniture under the film is not observed, and therefore the heat immediately appears under the ceiling. But, all the same, the temperature on the loggia rose from 14.4C to 17.0C. On the street -6C. At the moment, the power of the film is 550W. So, it is better to use it classically - on the floor.

How many people, so many opinions. Although, judging by the last review, the user still has no idea how the same film would behave when mounted on the floor.

Installation features

Using 1.4 mm film ("Plan"), you can make your own underfloor heating in the house. The canvas should be attached to the dowels. Before starting work, it is important not to forget to completely clean the surface. Sq. m. of the canvas weighs 750 g, so you need to fix it on the floor every 20 cm. The distance from the wall should be standard - 2 cm. It is better to set the canvas on the sheet based on the square of the room. The minimum distance of the flooring for fixing the foil is 3 cm. It is important not to use any metal objects. If there are mirrors on the walls, they should be set aside at a safe distance.

What is the power consumption when installing PLEN: reviews of the owners

Not all netizens give the same feedback about the energy consumption of the underfloor heating film. There are also such opinions:

MarkizDrakon, St. Petersburg: I have only one complaint about infrared - advertising of marvelous efficiency. Whereas the efficiency of any electric heater tends to 100. This is a PLEN or a convector. On one site, I even saw comparative pictures, where the efficiency of an electric boiler is presented as 30%. Tin. In fact, the cost of heating the same house with different types of electrical appliances will be almost the same.

It's nice to have the thermostat in a convenient location

The main parameters of "Plan 1.6"

This "Plan" system has the following characteristics: the radiation wavelength is 10 microns, and the limit voltage is 200 V. Electricity consumption is 1 A per square meter. m. The operating frequency of the heater is in the region of 22 Hz. In this case, a resistive heating element is used. Its maximum power reaches 150 watts per square meter. m. On the surface in economy mode, the maximum temperature is 40 degrees.

The efficiency of the heater is 70%. Thus, its performance is quite high. The density of the material in the system is 7 kg per cubic meter. m. The coating is used in production lavsan. The thermostat is set as three-channel by default. During installation, the electrical panel is used with a standard voltage of 220 V. It can withstand a load of up to 30 A. The modulator in the standard kit is marked RRK20.

What is PLAN

Heating PLEN works by converting electricity into infrared radiation with a wavelength of 9 to 12 microns. The system of radiant film heaters consists of resistors enclosed between polymer films that do not conduct electric current. Polymer films have high thermal conductivity, due to which the room is heated.
Electric current, flowing through the resistors, heats them up. Thus, electricity is converted into heat. Due to their high thermal conductivity, polymer films covered with aluminum foil from the inside provide heat exchange, for example, with the floor.The floor heats up evenly over the entire surface and heats the lower layers of the air. As a result of natural convection of air, an even temperature is ensured throughout the room. Such heating can be compared to solar energy. It is possible to mount the heating PLEN with your own hands. The installation process is quite simple and does not require special knowledge and skills.

Consumer reviews about the canvas

This "Plan" system has extremely good reviews from the owners, many buyers purchase the above canvas for greenhouses. It keeps the temperature in the room perfectly, there are no complaints about performance. Also, this system is often chosen for heating various cafes and restaurants. The peculiarity of this heater is that the humidity is always normal.

Considering the material thickness of 1.6 mm, the heating element is quite powerful. Consequently, the heating speed takes little time. As the owners note, the room warms up evenly and the walls always remain dry. Infrared rays, in general, do not have a bad effect on human health. You can stay indoors with the device turned on for a long time without any risk. Worth sq. m. of the specified canvas in a specialized store about 1700 rubles. If you do not install it yourself, for each sq. m. will have to pay extra 1,500 rubles.

Principle of operation

Thermal energy production from electric film heaters is based on properties of infrared rays... Passing through the air space, which consists mainly of oxygen and nitrogen, the rays of the infrared spectrum are not absorbed. Solid objects in the room, as well as walls, first absorb the rays and raise the temperature, then transfer heat to the surrounding air, heating the living space.

A resistive element is installed in the device, which is a carefully calibrated resistor circuit created by many layers. Resistors are placed on a foil layer, then laminated with a durable protective coating, the resulting layer has a thickness of no more than one and a half millimeters. To start the resistors and heat them, you must give a charge of energy from the connection to the electrical network. The PLEN heats up to a temperature of 50 ° C, after which the resistors begin to emit infrared rays in the range of about 15 microns, which is scattered around the room evenly and absorbed by surrounding objects.

With this heating method, after warming up, the room temperature rises to 10 ° C within an hour... When the air temperature in the room reaches the set value, the circuit breaker will interrupt the operation of the device, and will turn it on periodically to maintain the desired heating. The typical turn-on time for support is 4 to 16 minutes. The system works for about two and a half hours per day, the rest of the heating is done by heat transfer from the enclosing surfaces and furniture.

Consumers are often interested in the cost of heating such a new device on the forums. To determine the need, you should pay attention to the area of the room, the thermal insulation of the outer walls and the electricity prices in the region. Purchase of equipment and its installation pays off during operation within two years.

Can I install it myself?

Reviews suggest that the installation of "Plan" (heater) can be carried out completely independently. In this case, it is very important to take a responsible attitude to the surface primer. This is necessary for a snug fit of the material to the ceiling. This way, mold will never grow indoors. Experts advise using dowels as fasteners. In this situation, a lot depends on the material of the walls.

If the house is panel, then the dowels are ideal. When it comes to wooden surfaces, you can save on clamps and take, for example, hooks with caps. In spinning, they are a little more difficult, but the owner will spend an order of magnitude less money. Before installing the control unit, it is imperative to check the wiring. Otherwise, you can damage it and short-circuit the circuit completely. To avoid any malfunctions, during installation, all metal objects must be removed from the film. It is also desirable to get rid of mirrors. The modulator comes with two channels. It is attached to the control unit through two connectors.

Instead of an afterword

What kind of heating to install in the house is up to everyone personally. However, PLEN is a truly innovative material that saves a decent part of the budget. Those who talk about the high cost and high consumption of electricity can only advise how to better insulate their homes.

PLEN can be installed even in the bathroom - it is not afraid of low humidity

We hope that the information presented today was useful to our dear reader. We will be happy to answer your questions in the discussion, if they arise as you read the article. Write, ask and share your experience - after all, he can help someone.

Important characteristics of the "Plan 1.8" heater

Power sq. m. of the canvas is 5 kW, and the operating frequency is 23 Hz. For an hour of continuous operation, the heating element consumes about 6 A per minute. The efficiency is at 86%. Power is supplied through a network with a voltage of 220 V. The control unit is standard in the kit. Economy mode is not provided by the manufacturer. The peak power of the system can be up to 6 kW.

In general, the surface of the web is fireproof. The density of the material is in the region of 8 kg per cubic meter. m. The radiation wavelength in this case is equal to 9 microns. The modulator is installed by default in the MPP 23 series. The connection to the power cable can be carried out using various fasteners. The electrical panel for this heating system is suitable for the "Salute" type. A magnetic starter in this model is provided by the manufacturer. Will cost sq. m. of canvases to the buyer for 1550 rubles. At the same time, the installation of the square. m. of film costs an average of about 1,700 rubles.

Owners' opinions about the system

The specified "Plan" system deserves positive reviews from the owners, because this film can be used in various rooms. It is ideal for brick houses. At the same time, she will also find a place in various workshops. The resistive electric heating element is installed in the canvas. This heating system is very easy to maintain.

If necessary, it can always be cleaned by wiping with a dry cloth. Also, the "Plan" system has good reviews because of its absolutely noiseless operation. In winter, infrared rays have a beneficial effect on the skin, and this should be taken into account. Thus, on cloudy days, this film is able to have a positive effect on the human body.

Features of the use of such a heating system in practice

Even taking into account all the shortcomings, this system is the safest and most effective. The heating foil is good for mounting on the ceiling, but they also feel good with floor coverings.

But the infrared floor does not always give off heat equally; when using linoleum and carpet, radiation is least delayed. They almost do not accumulate heat, thus, the room warms up much better. The most effective film is with ceramic tiles, and slightly weaker with laminate.

It is necessary and sufficiently careful to approach the selection and installation of furniture in the room, you need to do this even before installing the heating system, thinking over every little thing. Where the furniture will be placed, it is irrational to lay the film, this will reduce heat transfer and have a negative effect on the condition of the furniture, it will be prone to drying out.

Also, infrared heating can be performed on the basis of a carbon film. It is very important to carry out the installation and installation of the system, observing all safety measures. It is best to entrust the connection of the switchboard to a professional electrician who has the appropriate admission group.

Installing film in the house

Using the fastening elements, you can independently make the installation "Plan". The heating is then regulated by the control unit. It is quite simple to install, any person can switch modes. To fix the film, you need to take all measurements and prepare the fasteners.Work should always start from the edge. If the heating element is damaged, the cloth can be thrown away immediately. Thus, the sheets must be fastened very carefully.

The minimum overlay must be 5 cm. Hooks are not recommended in this case. In the opposite situation, after a while, the sheet may sag, and this is undesirable. In this regard, with dowels, everything is done very quickly. They are expensive on the market, but such elements are reliable. As a result, you can ignore them for many years.

How does infrared radiation affect human health?

It has already been proven that there is no harm to humans from infrared heating of PLEN. Quite the opposite - sometimes IR radiation helps with arthritis and other joint diseases. And the immune system starts to work better with periodic irradiation. There is only one contraindication - an individual intolerance to infrared radiation. But here it is negligible. If a person can be under the sun's rays without any health problems, then PLEN will obviously not harm him.

Heater parameters "Plan 2.0"

The maximum surface heating temperature is 30 degrees, and the maximum voltage is 200 V. The heater can withstand a load of 30 A. The thermostat in this model is installed in the PP233 series. The connection to the network can be carried out in various ways, and the cable length is 3 meters. As you can see from the name of the heater, the thickness of the curtain is 2 mm. The radiation wavelength in this case is 9 μm.

The working power of this heating system is 5 kW. For an hour of continuous operation, it consumes an average of about 8 kW. In this case, the efficiency reaches a maximum of 85%. The density of the material inside is 8 kg per cubic meter. m. Power supply of the control unit is carried out from a network with a voltage of 200 V. The maximum power of the modulator is exactly 5 kW. Worth sq. m. film in a specialized store for about 1800 rubles. The installation will cost the owner about 1600 rubles. per sq. m.

Reviews of the Plan 2.0 system

Most of all, the film with a thickness of 2.0 mm is suitable for heating various administrative premises. At the same time, it can be installed in a residential building. In operation, it is simple and does not require special attention. Heating the room takes a long time, but this is perhaps the only drawback of this system. In winter, this heater is best used with other heating appliances.

They say that it is quite easy to save on electricity with this film. In this case, it is important to learn how to use the control unit correctly. In damp rooms, the specified heater can also be used. After several hours of operation, the humidity returns to normal. Also, many people fell in love with this system for its long shelf life. Given the low cost of the product, this is considered a significant advantage.

What is the best way to fix the film?

In order to qualitatively install "Plan" (heating) in the house, do-it-yourself installation must be carried out using only dowels. The power supplies are fixed directly next to the outlets. The modulator is also fixed there. To use the heating system safely, the minimum distance from the edge of the wall should be 3 cm. In this case, the indentation should be at least 4 cm based on the square of the room.

Before work, the wiring must be checked by a tester. Otherwise, situations with a short circuit are possible. It is strictly forbidden to use metal objects during installation. It is also not recommended to use glue when fixing the film on the surface. The protective layer must be pierced carefully so as not to damage the heating elements.

About PLAN in a nutshell

The abbreviation PLEN stands for a radiant film electric heater.Heating is carried out by converting electrical energy into infrared radiation. The system itself is a kind of cake of non-conductive polymer films and resistors enclosed between them.

When an electric current passes through the resistors, they heat up, transfer heat to the distribution surface from a composition with high thermal conductivity, and it emits infrared waves with a length of 9-12 microns. The radiation hits the opposite surface, which absorbs the radiant energy and releases heat. Manufacturers take solar energy as an example, inviting you to be heated by your own sun. What do we actually have, and if we get together, how will we install the PLAN with our own hands?
